The Real Terminator
the back, past front, and it was also the front
A title that, despite looking like a poorly worded ADHD-infused sentence, actually describes this scene quite well:
This BNSF Gevo has become the DPU on the Short Line's outbound slab train. An SCIH engineer was on board this unit less than five minutes ago, but a company pickup truck has picked him up and (extremely recklessly, per the usual) drove back to a CN unit waiting in the plant on the new pit track I shared a few uploads ago. They will tie onto the other end of the train, cut their air in, get the DPU fence up and linked, and be on their way to Stockton to hand the train off to a CN crew.
And, Front St. is the crossing you see in the background. The circle of life.
